A is for Annabelle

Kind of a long post but I might not be back for a while.
Annabelle was born June 16th at 10:01 p.m.
she was 7 lbs 15 oz, 19 1/2 " long
Here are some pictures of the last 5 days of our lives.
Hospital wait
My mom was invited to the birth, her first one she ever saw!
Mikes family is the best support team around, they have been outside the door for 3 births now! Thanks.Annabelle was very "cheesey" the doctor said. She was delivered by Dr. Rees and he made the birth as fun as it can be. She came in 2 hours from the time I was put on the pit. I pushed about 6 times with 3 contractions. Epidurals are great even when they make me loopy!
She instantly stuck her finger in her mouth
Gabe and his new baby sister. Gabe was excited.
Jace took some time to warm up to her. When he first saw her he backed away. We asked him to get in the picture and he said "No" Funny because he had been looking forward to this for 9 months. When I would go to the doctor these last few times both boys would ask me "are you gona bring home baby Annabelle?"
Daddy and his baby girl.
The hospital fun
Dad and his boys
Grandma Louder
Kyler and Gabe are missing the same tooth!

Jace the night I came home from the Hospital. He was wired.
Sleepy days
Annabelle and her cousin Troy born 3 weeks before her. These little kids are gona be best of friends.

my Grandma Liston. She came over this morning to try and get a promise out of us that we wont shorten her name. We will call her Annabelle. I can't promise anything like that but for now she is called ANNABELLE. She was named after this Grandmas mother.
Gabe told me today. "Annabelle wants me" He is so happy to have a baby in our home.
Jace has turned up the volume x 10 since Annabelle was born.
Mike got us a new camera with our new arrival, we are having so much fun taking pictures. Tonight I hope to have a photo shoot so I can get some precious moments of my baby girl.

Congratulations on the new addition from Jayne and I. She is adorable. I always thought that I would parent both of my kids the same but I just can't help but talk sweeter to Darcy and let her get away with a lot more than Jeff. Perhaps Mike will feel the same way.
